The tip off does come from New Idea - so it's far from confirmed - but the rumours are certainly no more far-fetched than when we first heard the Honey Badger might become The Bachelor, so who knows.

“The producers want to sign her… She really is just the sort of person they are looking for… The only issue they see is the fact that Michelle may not even want to be the Bachelorette," the unnamed source told the publication.

"That kind of public scrutiny is not for everyone, but they are keen to give it their best shot.”

Michelle already has over 505k followers on Instagram, so there's certainly an interest in the hurdler.

But could she bring the comic relief to keep us entertained for an entire season like Sophie Monk? Or the vulnerability and desperate desire to find love like Sam Frost?
